Ingredients

Dressing

3 tbsp cup extra-virgin olive oil
2-3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp kosher salt
½-1 tsp Tabasco adjust to taste
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Salad

½ about 5 cups seedless chilled watermelon, (cubed or balled)
1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
¾-1 cup Kalamata olives sliced
1 medium sweet onion (medium diced)
½ cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves

Optional Add-ins

1-2 Lebanese Cucumbers (medium dice)
1 Jalapeño (small dice) for a little more spice

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, Tabasco, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chilled watermelon balls or cubes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced Kalamata olives, diced sweet onion, and chopped parsley leaves.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve the watermelon and feta salad immediately as a refreshing and flavourful side dish or appetizer.

Notes

Chill Time: If you’re making the salad ahead of time, chill the watermelon and feta separately before combining.
Serving Suggestion: This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or seafood, or it can stand alone as a light and refreshing dish for a summer.
